How To Fly

I can still feel you in my skin Screaming, breathing disloyal notions Your face I still picture clearly within My heart pleads for some emotion

I still have your heart I keep it around my neck It shines silver and dangles from my chest I’m sorry I left you I’m sorry about the lies I’m sorry for everything Don’t, love- Don’t you cry Go far away from me Spread those wings of yours Go on love- Fly Go on and fly

You still beckon me to move closer For I can still hear your voice It’s a trick; A beautiful but haunting noise I can still taste your lips Don’t do this to me You were supposed to fly Jump up and fly; Not slip

I still have your heart I keep it around my neck It shines silver and dangles from my chest I’m sorry I left you I’m sorry about the lies I’m sorry for everything Don’t, love- Don’t you cry Go far away from me Spread those wings of yours Go on love- Fly Go on and fly

Baby, come back to me I miss you And I want to become yours Come back to me Surprise me, walk through that door

I still have your heart I keep it around my neck It shines silver and dangles from my chest I’m sorry I left you I’m sorry about the lies I’m sorry for everything Don’t, love- Don’t you cry

But wait you didn’t slip like I predicted Did you? You did what I asked

You left me

And you flew
